Everyone at The Big Lunch recycles their Christmas cards, do you? The Woodland Trust with partners M&S make it easy.
Turn your festive waste into woodland this Christmas!
Recycle your Christmas cards at Marks & Spencer in January and help the Woodland Trust plant trees
Marks & Spencer is calling on its customers to help the Woodland Trust turn festive waste into woodland by recycling old Christmas cards at M&S stores UK-wide*.
From 2 to 31 January 2012, specially-marked Christmas card recycling bins will be in place in over 300 participating M&S stores. M&S is committed to planting one tree with the Woodland Trust for every 1,000 Christmas cards brought into store. The target is to save over 10 million cards from the rubbish bin next year, equating to 10,000 new native trees.
Sue Holden, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, said; “We are delighted that M&S is continuing the highly successful Christmas Card Recycling Scheme. By recycling festive cards, M&S customers are helping the Woodland Trust to continue vital work in creating new woodland, providing much-needed habitats for precious wildlife.”
For the first time, M&S has also introduced a voting mechanism on its Plan A website, allowing people to vote for where they would most like to see trees planted. Customers can now go to www.marksandspencer.com/votetrees and pick their preferred region. The more votes a region gets, the more trees will go in the ground there.

This is such a fantastic idea!
Absolutely and don’t forget to vote where in the UK you would most want more trees planted!
